CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS

The Criminal Investigation Division, known as CID, is divided into two sections: General Investigations and the Special Enforcement Team.

Typically, a preliminary investigation is completed by a Patrol Officer who writes an offense report. If an arrest is not made or the case is unable to be solved by the Patrol Officer, or the case requires specialized or in-depth investigative services, the case is forwarded to CID. The General Investigations Section provides investigative services of all serious crimes to include burglaries and major thefts, homicides, sexual battery cases, child abuse, robberies, and financial crimes, as well as support for the investigation of less serious crimes upon request or as needed.

The Special Enforcement Team provides proactive investigative services of narcotics violations, “vice” crimes, gang violence, and other specialized investigations as well as gathering criminal intelligence.

Investigators have the responsibility to search out the full facts of a situation, organize the facts into a logical summary of investigative data, and present this data to the State Attorney’s Office for criminal prosecution.
